BURNABY—CUPE 7000, representing 126 employees of Southern Railway, have reached a tentative agreement with the U.S.-owned company, effectively ending a lockout that began on January 5.
Details of the agreement are not being released, as members will be holding a ratification vote on Monday (May 4).
During the 114-day lockout, Southern Railway managers operated the system. The two sides returned to the bargaining table on March 30.
CUPE BC acknowledges that the province of British Columbia is located on the homelands of 203 distinct Indigenous nations and cultures; with more than 30 different languages and close to 60 unique dialects spoken in the province. We ask all CUPE members to reflect, acknowledge and honour in their own way the First Nation land on which they live, work and play.
